While Joseph and Ozzy were planning for their next move, Harvey was already back in Hatchet Gang’s base camp.Since Lilian and Xynthia were accompanying Mandy in the hospital, the once bustling courtyard seemed a little lonely.Rachel left after making Harvey some black tea.Kayden ran in with a frantic expression not long after, saying that someone wanted to see Harvey.Harvey told Kayden to invite the person in without wasting any time.Harvey froze before he instinctively stood up.“What brings you here, Elder Torres?”“You can just call me if you want to see me. Why show up here yourself?”The person who came was none other than Colton Torres.He was wearing his suit, with a cane in hand. He seemed to be in high spirits.Naturally, he was brimming full of energy after Harvey dealt with his sickness.Colton sat in front of Harvey without any restraint.“No need for formalities between us, Harvey,” he said with a warm smile.“I came here for two things.”Harvey poured C
“I see.”Harvey nodded. He thought that the Longmen Summit would have something else going on.At the end of the day, it was just another martial arts tournament.Harvey shook his head.“It’s not that I don’t care about your request, Elder Torres, but I’m not interested in such things.”“I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you with that.”Colton smiled upon seeing Harvey’s disinterest.“Actually, I think you’ll have to participate.”“Hmmm?”Harvey was confused; it didn’t matter if he went to an event like that or not. Why was Colton so sure that he’d have to go?There were already a lot of things in Harvey’s mind. Harvey really didn’t care about something like the tournament.“According to my sources, the master of Longmen, Samuel Bauer, is critically ill. He’ll die at any minute.”“If he does die, both Longmen and the Bauer family will be in utter chaos.”“They need someone with absolute authority to take control.”“If not, Country H’s underworld will cause an uproar afte
Harvey turned speechless.“But I’m really not interested in this. I don’t want to be the master of Longmen, either.”“I know you don’t care about reputation, Sir York.”“But there are some things only you can do.”“If Longmen falls, so will the underworld. If that happens, the country will follow.”“Are you just going to watch as outsiders ravage our country?”Harvey became completely speechless upon hearing Colton’s words.After a moment, he sighed.“At this point, I’ll be seen as ignorant if I don’t go.”“Where do I sign up? I’ll go take a look.”“No need.”Colton brought out a registration form with a signature on it.He happily handed the paper to Harvey.“Just sign the paper here.”“Right. The representative of Flutwell will be chosen tomorrow. You’ll be competing at the Flutwell Gymnasium. Don’t miss it!”When Colton gave him a list of things to keep in mind during the competition, Harvey felt like he was being tricked into the situation.But at this point, he had
Even though Harvey was quite discreet and didn’t have too much ambition…He wouldn’t just sit still and let someone trample all over him.For the sake of impressing Noal with his attitude and courage, Harvey decided to give the Bharata Business Council another chance.If they didn’t change their ways and kept going for Harvey, he wouldn’t mind dealing with them once and for all…Colton did not say another word to doubt Harvey’s confidence.In reality, he had already said good things about Harvey to the Bharata Business Council before he came here.Logically speaking, the matter would pass quickly.After reminding Harvey to join the Longmen Summit tomorrow, Colton then stood up and left.Harvey lay on the reclining chair and closed his eyes; he didn’t pay too much mind to the Bharata Business Council.Two hours later, rapid footsteps could be heard approaching.“This is bad, Sir York!”Rachel ran over with an anxious look.Harvey froze.“Did something happen in the hospital
Rachel’s phone started vibrating at that moment. Someone had sent her a text.After looking at the text, Rachel’s expression worsened.“We know who did this. It was the outer disciple of Longmen’s Law Enforcement, Mitchell’s men.”“That said, you have control over Longmen’s Law Enforcement.”“Whether you like it or not, you’ll have to take the blame!”“What do we do? Should we tell everyone about this person?”“No need,” Harvey replied.“We can figure out who’s leading the group. The Bharata Business Council aren’t idiots. They know this.”“But since Mitchell’s already dead, it’s only natural that they put all the blame on me.”“If we say we have nothing to do with them, we’ll be slapping ourselves in the face!”“Pretty impressive move, I’d say!”“They’re trying to make us panic while also keeping us quiet at the same time…”“Interesting.”“So you’re saying that you know who it is already?”Rachel was shocked.“It’s simple, really. Or rather, the enemy never intended to
Bohdi clapped his hands. Immediately after, his companions stood up and glared coldly at Kayden.The bodyguards weren’t hiding their murderous intent any longer.Kayden completely ignored those people and walked toward Eli.“Young Master Burton, right?” he said while squinting.“Sir York got me here to tell you something.”“He doesn’t want a statement tomorrow. He wants it now.”“Sir York? Who’s that?”Eli was confused.“Oh? Aren’t you Head Balmer? I was wondering why an idiot is running around the place!”“It’s been a while! I didn’t know you became the kept man’s subordinate!”“You’re one of the leaders of the Gang of Six! Your gang’s well-renowned!”“Why are you working for somebody else?”“I guess Hatchet Gang is only good for showing off at this point…”Eli blew out a puff of smoke; he was looking down on Kayden completely.The women there were giggling with their mouths covered. They firmly believed Kayden was looking for his death.“Enough talk, Eli.”Kayden chan
Kayden slapped Eli’s hand away, his gaze ice. Eli revealed a deep smile, planning to cross the line even further.“How about this? Let’s not talk about Harvey for now.”“After all, Young Master Garcia wants him dead. Us small fries don’t have the right to get involved.”“At most, I can promise you that Harvey will have one of his arms left to beg for food on the streets when Young Master Garcia wants to break all of his limbs. I’ll make sure to plead for that, at least.”“But you’ll have to return the favor.”“I really like Xynthia Zimmer!”“I miss her so much that I just can’t sleep!”“You’re a good person, Head Balmer.”“Why don’t you send her straight to my bed and release me from my pain?”Eli blew a puff of smoke on Kayden’s face before bursting out laughing.“Don’t you worry. I’ll thank you properly after that.”“I’ll have to return the favor somehow, right?”Bohdi and the others scoffed. They believed Kayden wouldn’t dare go against Eli.Kayden’s expression worse
“Sir York!”Eli frowned upon seeing the sight before him.Kayden walked toward Harvey respectfully, and then bowed at Harvey with his hands flattened neatly at the sides. Eli’s heart skipped a beat.He kept insulting Kayden, but he knew full well that Kayden was still one of Flutwell’s gang leaders.Kayden belonged to the Gang of Six!Even if Kayden belonged to the worst gang out of the six, seeing him acting so respectful toward Harvey was enough to show Harvey’s strength.However, Eli didn’t understand what was so special about the kept man who needed help from the cops.Eli didn’t pay too much mind to it, though.After all, Harvey’s fate had already been sealed the moment he called the cops to clean up Flutwell Hotel.Frankie would stop at nothing to kill him.“You should just let me handle this, Sir York,” Kayden said respectfully.“You didn’t have to come on your own.”“Since Young Master Burton laid his hands on my wife and hospitalized her for a few whole weeks…”
